+ | After two months of tidying up, Theodoric is crowned as the new Margrave of Ostmark. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ====Synopsis a la Red==== | ||
+ | Time has passed. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===Crown Dropped on Skull [figuratively at least]=== | ||
+ | The Coronation, performed in the glorious hall of Recared was actually fairly boring. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Eventually, the Odinese High Priest declared Thodric, Theodoric whatever margrave and the party began. | ||
+ | ==Meanwhile== | ||
+ | A strange and mysterious old man slowly struggled up the slope leading to the sally port of Castle Recared. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===Partius interruptus=== | ||
+ | Party, celebration, | ||
+ | |||
+ | Never a fan of such dos, Red was looking up, down and around, perhaps seeking something. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==Meanwhile== | ||
+ | A strange and mysterious old man sought entrance to the castle. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===Fox & Hounds=== | ||
+ | Apparently no-one noticing two huge men disappearing from the party, and the physics-ally appropriate bang of air filling a vacuum, it continued. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==Meanwhile== | ||
+ | The strange and mysterious old man approached Thodric at the party and was able to persuade him that some great evil was entering his castle, and he probably should deal with it. They chase, the strange and mysterious old man apparently having a feel for the movement of the evil. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===Whose Body?=== | ||
+ | We approached the castle vault. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Up near the doors into the vault stood a creature, a beast Connor insisted be a demon. | ||
+ | |||
+ | There was the usual flurry of action. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Connor was very, very quick to inform us the blade could transmogrify any being that touched it into a demon like that we had just slain. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Theodoric, not surprisingly a little confused, admitted a similar blade lay within the vault, leading the strange and mysterious old man to the conclusion the demon sought that blade, hoping to create a bosom companion for those long, cold, lonely night. | ||
+ | |||
+ | While they continued to natter, Red wended his way halfway across the castle to collect some tongs from the smithy to move the weapon more safely. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===Teufel-Suchen=== | ||
+ | Aeskil the may-as-well-be-drunk and Thodric the host declared their intentions to return to the party while Red woke the blacksmith, interested in seeing if the heat of that fire would be sufficient to destroy one of these attainted blades. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Unfortunately, | ||
+ | |||
+ | Red sent the smith' | ||
+ | |||
+ | They eventually noticed and headed for the blacksmith' | ||
+ | |||
+ | == Meanwhile == | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | The strange and mysterious old man, having finally learnt his lesson about striking beasts with burning or freezing hides was happily bouncing around like a little flee disarming demons left, right and centre. While this kept them all busy, the demons not prepared to leave without the blades that made them what they were, he wasn't really able to harm them. | ||
+ | |||
+ | They were, despite Red arriving to help, and leaving the poor smith on the roof to consider his sins, able to retrieve their blades just after Aeskil arrived and all five, bearing six blades, fled. | ||
+ | |||

+ | |||
+ | Where now? Why were the beasts hunting Connnor, destroying his kind and their monastery? Where is Red's mind? | ||
